THE ATHEIST'S COMPLAINT:
Who was Abijam's maternal grandmother? Was it Abishalom (1 Kings 15:2) or was it Uriel (2 Chronicles 13:1-2)? Is there a contradiction?

RESPONSE:
If the questioner is looking for the maternal grandmother of Abijam, it would seem to be Uriel (2 Chronicles 13:1-2). Does that mean that 1 Kings 15:2 is in error? No. This text reveals the maternal grandfather of Abijam, Abishalom (or as he is more commonly called, Absalom).

Notice the family tree of Abijam (Abijah):



There is no contradiction.
